In Elden Ring, D Hunter of the Dead serves as one of the most intriguing non-playable characters whose journey intertwines with key narrative arcs. Understanding his questline allows players to access unique Holy Incantations, vital story locations, and valuable gear sets. This walkthrough outlines every crucial objective required to complete his storyline while detailing the underlying mechanics of his encounters.
Finding D in Limgrave and Seeking the First Deathroot
Players initially encounter D in the eastern region of Limgrave, where he warns travelers about the dangerous presence of undead creatures. Defeating the Tibia Mariner located in Summonwater Village rewards players with a Deathroot. Presenting this item to D causes him to introduce the player to Gurranq, the Beast Clergyman in Caelid.
If players skip his initial encounter in Limgrave and travel directly to Roundtable Hold, D will automatically relocate there. Showing him a Deathroot at Roundtable Hold will trigger the exact same map marker leading to the Bestial Sanctum. Completing this step unlocks D as a spell vendor offering valuable Golden Order incantations.
Delivering the Weathered Dagger and the Roundtable Hold Incident
As players progress through the Lands Between and reach the Altus Plateau, Fia will offer a new task during dialogue. She hands over a Weathered Dagger and asks the player to return it to its rightful owner. Handing this dagger to D triggers the next pivotal phase of his storyline.
After reloading the Roundtable Hold area, a previously locked room past the blacksmith will become accessible. Inside, players find Fia standing over D's lifeless body. Looting his corpse yields D's Bell Bearing alongside the complete Twinned Armor set.
Locating D's Twin Brother in Nokron
The questline continues underground in the Eternal City of Nokron near the Siofra Aqueduct. Sitting right outside the fog gate to the Valiant Gargoyle boss arena is D's twin brother. Players can choose whether to give D's Twinned Armor set to his grieving brother.
Handing over the armor grants the Inner Order gesture and makes D's brother available as a summon for the upcoming boss fight. This action also leads to a dramatic conclusion later during Fia's questline in Deeproot Depths.
Rewards and Long-Term Story Impact
Completing all objectives tied to D and his twin brother delivers significant rewards, including the Inseparable Sword. Furthermore, his narrative connections provide deep insights into the lore surrounding Those Who Live in Death. Navigating his objectives properly ensures you do not miss out on vital equipment and story developments.
